Graduation Time

Our youngest son is graduating May 7 from University of South Carolina in Chemistry. We are so proud of him. I need to brag for a second. He's been doing inorganic chemistry research for a professor the last two years. Upon graduating, he wrote a paper and presented to professor (I think a requirement). Anyhow, the Department of Chemistry was so impressed it is being "published" .... that's a huge deal and a bigger deal for an undergraduate. Usually, this is saved for doctorate candidates. From a mother's point of view, I hope it will look good on his resume and help him get a JOB!!! Anyone out there need an outstanding chemist with strong lab experience in Organic and Inorganic Chemistry??? Haha

We are having a very small luncheon after graduation ceremony. I wanted to do a few things for the table at the restaurant. We will be out-of-town, so I'm trying to keep it simple and portable. I did a few easel pieces and made pillow boxes (Silhouette Store). I''m sharing these in today's post.

Congratulations on your son's achievement, Cely, both the graduation and the published paper. WOW! Fantastic! Your table decorations are very sophisticated and masculine. I'm sure everyone appreciated the little treats!

Congrats to your son and to you too Mom and Dad. There is a definite parental commitment even when your kids are in college. And what an achievement to be published. How impressive. My husband is a nuclear physicist and I know how hard it can be to get published. Awesome table decorations Cely. It will make his day very special!

Congrats to you and your son! Surely there will be several job offers for him! My daughter graduated in December and is STILL looking...uuggghhhhhh! Love your table decorations and the fabulous pillow box favors!

About Me

I'm a Carolina Girl who loves the beach, beach music, along with fishing, sailing swimming and people watching on the beach, but my body is stuck in Greenville, South Carolina. I would rather have the intense sun on my back and the hot grainy sand in my shoes than to have a comfortable chair to sit and view the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I'm an obsessor of colors and paper crafting. I truly believe making cards and crafts keeps my heart and mind healthy.
As a child I can remember getting my fanny spanked on a weekly basis for leaving my art work on all the walls in our house. Paper had too small of boundaries!!
